    Intel's "Core 2 Duo" CPU Chips

    Pentium D's are rubbish. If you want something cheap then wait for the Core 2 Duo's and Pentium D's will fall in price. But if you want something fast either buy AMD chips or the Core 2 Duo's. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2795

    Save the COT report.

    Please evaluate this strategy

    Is TradeStation as "buggy" as QuoteTracker?

    Tax cuts have not created a single job

    I'm not American so I have no axe to grind here, but your conclusion doesn't follow from your data. Without tax cuts the 'actual change in jobs' could have been 0 (or it could have been 10 million). Take data, add personal bias, come to a random conclusion. Just a quick glance at the...

    Tradestation 2000i questions

    This is just a download program. It copies the data from Yahoo!. Why not go direct to Yahoo! and save yourself $69? Also, I think it is only for EOD data, not intraday.
